15 I love app-portage/ufed, but it was late in recognizing the new location
16 of make.conf. I worked around the problem like this:
17
18 $ls -l /etc/make.conf
19 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Dec 9 2012 /etc/make.conf -> /etc/portage/make.conf

21 I should check to see if the simlink is still needed, but I'll fetch another
22 beer instead :)
